Tuesday's Elections in Virginia and New Jersey have some saying that the GOP is back and in a big way. As much as I and most every other 2008 College Republican volunteer campaigner would like to believe that the sequence has fallen out of voters eye's; we need to be realistic about what these victories mean for the GOP. Do they signal a severe shift in the voters thinking; or were these simply what happens when the democrats do not have Jimmy Buffet tickets and other razzle dazzle to throw in voters eyes?

I for one hope that these elections in VA and NJ signal a unifying message for the GOP and a call to action for a President who seems to be unable to make the tough decisions like Afghanistan (We're waiting Mr. President; how many Soldiers will it take for a decision?) and spent the first quarter of his Presidency appointing over 30 Czars' and implementing programs that last a week (Cash for Clunkers) or bailing out failing companies.

I think that American people have removed all of the sequence and razzle dazzle of 2008 from there eyes and what they saw was a President who is indecisive and non-bipartisan. In spite of all of this we as the GOP need to make sure we do not over emphasis these wins. We need to take the lessons we learned in 2008 and from Tuesdays election and implement them into our 2010 plan. We can take back the seats we lost and more if we remember to stick together and talk with a unified voice. As the Democrats learned Tuesday when you give the American people the old razzle dazzle they may not ask you why then but 12 months down the road they will.

Virginia and New Jersey have given us energy for 2010 let's use this energy for unifying ourselves and preparing our message for the next election.
